A Gift of Flour To the Belgians County Council gwsSOOO bays of Hour to Belgian Relief Fund. Feversham Items Intended for last week Good sleighing and nice winter weath- er. Mr. Jno. Legate, s conded by Dr. Hereby, moved; that owing to the very great suffering and hardships cf tho Bel- gian people during the present war, whiuh W3 brought about through 140 JuuJt of i ' theirs, and through the laliaiit fight put up by the soldiers of that country, we are, perhap?, enjoyine a peace to-day that we might not be otherwise, we therefore move that this county council contribute two thousand bags of Hour as a first contribution to the Itelgian Relief Fund. Curried unanimously by the council standing and singing the National Anthem.

I The above illuminating motion is the most important which came before the Cjuiity council at. their meeting this week thus far. The motiou wa.s laun- ched yesterday afternoon at the regular R 'ssionsof tho council and, as denoted waa earned without a dissenting voice. There is a little story attached to the gift of the county of Grey to the Bel- gians. Some of the council would have been much mure generous than the gift of Hour would indicate, tor though this gift will mean a cash contribution of five t> .six thousand dollars, the original motion that wis presented would have authorized the trxponditure of the sum of flO, COO for the same purpose, that is to say fur the purchase of Hour for Belgians. That the full sum of tea thousand dol- lars was not voted rents to the credit, or o-.herwise, of a number of the members of the council, who were shook uut of their accustomed phlegmatic bearing' by the mete mention of such a considerable gum of money. When Mr. Legate nude the mocion 01- Liually it contemplated giving ten thou- sand dol'avn ID be used for buying nour fur tbe Belgians, but a number of the councillors could not see it that way. Some even thought they bad done their pitrt when they had given three or four ban" of nrniii or potatoes. Tlut is they thought the farmer* of the country hud il'Jiie their pait. An aineiulinent w.is made to the motion that one thousand dollars be given, while some of the mem- bers favored no action being taken, and others that it be leftover for the Janu- ary session. The result all round was a compromise to two thousand bags of Hour. The gift will mean about three cents on the hundre.l dollars of taxation . an cl it should not mean a very great h-tidship to the people of the county to give that much. The rest of the business nf rile council for the session has been of ;t routine na- ture, chidly passing Accounts of one sort and another. The session will snd to- morrow forenoon, having lasted since last Monday evening. All the members have bien in attendance -Times.
